  • Understanding Question Tags: A question tag is a short question added to the end of a statement. It usually consists of an auxiliary verb from the statement and a pronoun that reflects the subject of the main sentence.

  • Analyzing the Statement:

    • The main statement is "I am working hard on this assignment."
    • Here, "I" is the subject, and "am" is the auxiliary verb.
  • Forming the Question Tag:

    • Since the main sentence is positive ("I am..."), the question tag should be negative.
    • The auxiliary verb "am" in negative form is "aren't," and it corresponds to the subject "I."
